We’re paying a total of 55,000 euros to independent media projects that want to make the move to community funding

Today we are launching Steady Grants. The grants are a financial subsidy for independent media makers. We want to support podcasters, writers and other creators and help them take the step towards community funding.

A total of 15 projects can receive a grant: there are 10 grants of 3,000 euros and 5 grants of 5,000 euros. The money does not need to be paid back.

Already got a Steady project and paying members? No problem – you can also apply for Steady Grants to take your membership programme to the next level.
